STDL HANDLING AND PLACEMENT
A.
The Contractor and the Installer shall handle the STDL with caution to ensure it is not
damaged in any way. Precautions shall also be taken to prevent damage to the sub-base
during the installation of the STDL.
B.
Prior to the STDL installation, the sub-base shall be tested and approved by the
Architect/Engineer.
C.
All installed STDL shall be ballasted as required to prevent damage by (e.g.) wind. Such
ballast shall be placed during installation of the STDL and shall remain until installation
of synthetic turf.
D.
Manufacturer's representative shall be on site at the first day of STDL installation. This
representative shall instruct the STDL installer on installation method to ensure proper
product installation.
STDL INSTALLATION
A.
If sub-base is subject to external water sources (i.e. high water table, flowing ground
water, etc.), design should include sub-base drainage or a separation layer to protect the
base from moisture that may migrate up from the sub-base.
B.
Place a suitable leveling course, a minimum of 2” thick, precisely graded, on the sub-base
and compact to a minimum of 95% standard Proctor.
C.
Install per the manufacturer’s published instructions and as indicated on the plans and
drawings.
XT-8 COLLECTOR AND XT-4 TRACK DRAIN INSTALLATION
A.
Install per the manufacturer’s published instructions and as indicated on the plans and
specifications.
